Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2618761, member: 1847"] [b]Re: Round 24 - Broncos vs Knights - Post Match Discussion[/b] Sam Moa is 114 kg and Matt Scott is 106 kg - the issue isn't weight, or height. It is upper and lower body strength and the way you transfer that power into your running, and therefore obviously, the way you run. Josh's stats for metres gained are as good as any prop except for the absolute elite but even then, metres gained aren't everything. His offloads and line break stats are relatively poor (6 offloads and 1 line break) compared to the top props like Scott (14 offloads) and say Bromwich (43 offloads). My issue with him is that he rarely if ever looks to offload and tries to smash through the line instead of trying to offload and like I said, his line breaks compared to the best aren't good. There is no way on the planet I would pick him to play lock until he learns to offload like Cozza (58 offloads) and say Sam Burgess (50 offloads). In my view, the best props and locks are the ones who set up 2nd phase plays [/QUOTE]
